Birthday Cake

My chocolate-adverse chef requested a vanilla cake with strawberries and white icing for her birthday dinner this year.  Since she offered to help, I obliged.



I used an adapted lemon cake recipe to make a tender white cake.  Like several others I've tried this year, it called for a thick batter that you lighten with whipped egg whites just before baking.


Missing a little off the top?
No problem: we made some strawberry coulis,


Covered the bare spot and layered on some strawberries,



Added a top and some icing,



And had ourselves a party!



I think we'll try to adapt this one to about half it's size for next year!
